Installation
The Apollo light should be mounted so that when the lifebuoy is removed a direct pull is exerted on the
lanyard thus ensuring that the light is withdrawn from the container and switched on.
Screw the container to a secure location using two or four of the fixing holes provided, making sure
that when deployed the drop to the water is not greater than 76 metres. The Apollo Lifebuoy lights
have been constructed to withstand a drop into the water from up to 76M, in excess of what is required
by LSA Code (Chapter II Section 2.1.1.6).
Secure the lanyard to the lifebuoy. Ensure that the release toggle is fitted to the switch and that the
switch is in the off position as shown on page 3. Finally fit the light to the bracket with the lanyard fed
over the lip on the front.
IMPORTANT: 1. Ensure that the light is securely mounted into the
bracket. The light must be pushed home until it is clicked into place, with the Apollo logo
facing outwards. 2. The lanyard must feed over the top edge of the bracket as shown to ensure
correct release.
Operation
The light is automatically switched on when the lifebuoy is deployed. As the lifebuoy is deployed, the
lanyard will pull the light from its mounting bracket. Upon leaving the bracket, the rip cord attached to
the switch will switch the light on. When switched on, the light will provide a flashing light of at least 2
Cd. Once the light has been deployed, it must be considered expended and replaced with a new light.
Replacement
The Apollo light has a storage life of 5 years and must be replaced by the date shown on the label.
